8 Ways to Get Over Your Fear of Baking — Facing Fears
I grew up in an icebox cake family. On birthdays, my mother made the traditional treat, or what she lovingly called, “the birthday log,” which consisted of whipped cream and chocolate wafers, carefully pressed together to form — you guessed it — a log shape.
This was the extent of my baking exposure, which involved no baking at all. Sure, we made out-of-the-box brownies for bake sales and, when guests came over, a very special concoction of pre-made angel food cake reheated with a topping of butter and powdered sugar. But my childhood contained few memories of sifting or rising or cutting chilled butter into dough.

oat and wheat sandwich bread
It’s a shame bread has taken a beating over the last decade or so, because there’s little on this earth — I mean, save the obvious stuff, babies in hippo onesies, world peace — that makes me happier than the aroma rolling off a slice from a freshly baked loaf. So when I went on my bender of frenetic-nesting-by-way-of-freezer meals this summer, I also made a couple loaves of sandwich bread to stash away.
I cannot recommend this enough. Even if you don’t have a kid that needed to have a sandwich packed for camp every day this summer, even if you think you’re too old for peanut butter and jelly yourself, even if you’re really trying hard not to eat too much gluten/flour/bread/carbs/or other villian-du-jour, I resolutely believe that if/when you’re going to, you might as well make it excellent.
